This rich and creamy keto-friendly broccoli cheddar soup is packed with cheesy goodness and smoky bacon, making it a perfect low-carb comfort meal. With minimal prep and simple ingredients, this hearty soup delivers flavor and nutrition without excess carbs.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then sauté until the onions soften and become translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts, creating a smooth base.
Add the broccoli florets and crispy bacon crumbles to the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, allowing the soup to cook until the broccoli becomes tender.
Stir occasionally, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld together.
Once the broccoli is soft, ladle the soup into bowls and top with extra shredded cheddar for a rich, cheesy finish. Enjoy warm!
Notes
For an even creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup before serving.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning or add a dash of cayenne for a subtle kick.
This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for later.
